Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

http2udp

Build status

Forwards HTTP requests to UDP sockets.

What's the point?

At the time of writing, there is no way to send UDP packets from client-side JavaScript running in a web browser.

There may be other use cases for browser-based UDP but, for me, it is in order to send client-side RUM data to statsd, a popular monitoring server that receives data via UDP. UDP is a common choice for monitoring servers, where the issues of dropped packets and preserving transmission order are typically of little or no concern.

How does it work?

http2udp is a very basic HTTP server that runs on Node.js and forwards requests to UDP, based on the parameters of the request.

How do I install it?

Assuming that you already have Node.js and npm, you can install it globally like so:

sudo npm install -g http2udp

Or add it to your project's dependencies in package.json and run:

npm install

How do I use it?

From the command line

From another Node.js project

How do I set up the build environment?

What license is it released under?
